Our friends over at Boots and Hearts have announced more artists to the 2016 Lineup!

So who has their tickets yet?   Cause the addition of these artists might just push you to grab them TODAY!

So we asked all our Photographers to take am minute and submit what they felt was there best 15 shots and we would scale it down to their top 10 from there…  We are so thankful for these folks.   They make our pages come alive.     What is YOUR favourite shot of 2015… Share it over on our Facebook Page

It was late November and Autumn Hill, Jason Benoit and River Town Saints played four shows on a quick little jaunt across Ontario with the first stop in Ottawa then off to Hamilton, Kitchener and London to close things out.   Four fantastic nights of music.  We were made it to three of the shows and well we all agreed that all were fantastic.

These boys may not be a house hold name YET.  But let me tell you if you go see them live you will be sold immediately.   They are a great group of fellas that love to have a good time.   This is their first single at radio and it’s got that real cool groove to it.  Get ready to crank this one up cause A Little Bit Goes A Long Way is on the rise!   And please share this one,  just as the title suggests a little share does go a long way.

CONTEST ALERT

Hey Southern Ontario, are you ready to party?

We have a pair of tickets for the Autumn Hill,  Jason Beniot & River Town Saints concert set to take place on Tuesday Nov 24th in Hamilton at the Molson Canadian Studio.

After reading through Corey’s top 10 artists to watch in 2016 I started thinking of who I would put in that list. There are definitely similarities between my 10 and Corey’s, as you will see.  2015 has been a big year for Canadian country music from the tour perspective with all the major players hitting the road, Dallas Smith started the year with his hugely successful “Tippin’ Point Tour” featuring Sundy Best and now this fall Dean Brody and Paul Brandt just wrapped up their “Road Trip Tour”, Brett Kissel and Jordan McIntosh are currently on the road with their “Airwaves Tour” and Tebey kicks off his “Three’s A Party Tour” with Jason Blaine and James Otto on Friday in Halifax and to cap off the year Tim Hicks is hitting the road with Cold Creek County and Jason Benoit for their “Get A Little Crazy Tour”.  Notice something missing? Out of all the tours above only the “Road Trip Tour” featured tomatoes as an added ingredient with Lindi Ortega, Jess Moskaluke, Madeline Merlo and Whitney Rose featured throughout the tour.

So let’s take a look at who I think has the greatest chance of breaking out in the coming year, 2016.

I get asked on a regular basis who I think is going to make the next big step and start getting some great opening gigs.   It’s really not that easy.  With the politics in the music business sometimes the one with all the talent doesn’t win out.  But I can tell you the 10 artists listed below are all SUPER talented and have a great shot at making that next big step or maybe have already started that journey in 2015.

Ok,  so lets just say you folks love your Boots & Hearts! Our First Wish List was our 2nd Biggest Story of the year so far.  Our first being the Bluesfest Line up that had over 45,000+ Hits!   So we know you folks love your Boots & Hearts info…

It was the Friday night of the Laurier University homecoming and they got things kicked off in a hurry with a little Hicks & Saints.

So the folks down at Peller Estate Winery played host to a little Shindig a couple Saturday night’s back and we managed to get ourselves into such a great event.  We want to thank Jason Blaine and his team for having us in to cover the event and a big thanks to Patrice Whiffen and her team for putting it on.  Here are some of the images from the night a fantastic night at the Estates.
